Re: [BackupPC-users] file exclude not working

Thanks Ryan. I will try that but wondering why the BackupFilesExclude is not working. I would think that it would either add the --exclude args to the list or from what it seems to be doing sending the exclude over the connection.

One other piece I forgot to mention is I am using a restricted shell to only allow rsync so not sure if that might be another reason for it not working. The command that is sent is being run so it doesn't seem to be cause of the issue.

Hi,

I am new to backuppc. I have setup the server and it is backing things okay except in one instance. I am trying to backup a machine specifying multiple sharenames. For one of the shares I want to exclude some subdirs from being backed up. I am using the rsync method. For some reason it doesn't seem to be excluding that subdir though. Here is the log:
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l backuppc xxxx /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /usr/var/lib/perceus/

Xfer PIDs are now 9350
Got remote protocol 30

Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/usr/var/lib/perceus/vnfs/gravityos-cf-logger/rootfs/proc/3/exe"


I have set the sharenames and in BackupFilesExclude set the key to be the share /usr/var/lib/perceus and the value to 
/usr/var/lib/perceus/vnfs/*/rootfs/proc/* .  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help!

In the Xfer section of the config for the client host, enter this for RsyncArgs:

--exclude=/path/to/exclude

Add an additional '--exclude' entry for each subdir that you want excluded. To add additional, click the 'add' or 'insert' buttons.
